Cool lesson Janos.. Interesting to say the least..When i clicked the lesson, I closed my eyes to see what impression I would get and I must say,I was quite impressed with the originality. David Wallimann did come to mind though.. Great to have you here man.

Simply great and smooth, high class playing,welcome to GMC once more Janos!

Janos Kallai here, and welcome to my first lesson. In this lessons I’ll show you a nice blues circle with an interesting chord progression and a solo on top of it.From the first to eighth bars aresimple I – IV minor blues pattern, the F#4 or B (no3) is a subdominant preventive chord, but from the next measure the pattern is:

II, V, I-III, VI-V.

The third degree of the A minor scale is Cmaj7or Cmaj 7/5#, but we will get a bluesy feeling with C13 witch is a dominat of the Fmaj7, and the Fmaj7 is a dominant of the main E10b dominant chord. It’s a nice dominant chain.

In the first circle of the solo the A pentatonic and the A dorian scale (Gmajor scale second degree )are mixed. The A dorian scale contains the A pentatonic notes.

The second part is similar (from the13th bar) but the rhythm is not that simple.

In the 21th bar things might sound a little strange to your ears, ’cause I play F#, D#, F, and D notes too over Bm7/5b. The reason is that I use B half-whole tone scale. This scale include the notes of the Bm7/5b (BDFA) cord.
